Bible Note: Greetings MJH, Jesus declared all foods as "clean": Mark 7:14 After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: Mark 7:15 there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man. Mark 7:16 ["If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."] Mark 7:17 When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. Mark 7:18 And He *said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, Mark 7:19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.) Mark 7:20 And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. Mark 7:21 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, Mark 7:22 deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. Mark 7:23 "All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man." If we are to live like Jesus, then we would do well to learn from Mark 7:14-23. Blessings to you, Makarios |
